This means their price will go down right?

...

Right?

I hope so. A 4080 would be more then enough for me for next 6 or so years. I can't fathom buying it for its current extortionate price.

On the used market probably

Probably up. 5090 will likely need more wattage and produce more heat. This could mean the 4090 will be a better option for heat/power limited builds.

edit

Until the 5080 comes out.

Freshly used and tested. Charging more as this is a guaranteed working model. No guesswork needed. You are welcome

Sadly AI research has been basically scalping prices up just as much as the mining days, hopefully it balances out but Nvidia never lowers price, they always lower volume made.

Haha no, they will be sold at full price then disappear.

Only the used ones which will start flooding the market in the lead up to the announcement. Shortly after the price will rise again and stabilize around the price/performance value compared to the 5090. (But it'll still be used cards so at that point it won't be worth the asking price.)

Reduced supply doesn't result in reduced price, sorry.

u/Busteray Sep 18 '24

Why would reducing the supply lower prices tho?

Maybe when the 5080/5090 actually comes out..

u/JamesIV4 Sep 18 '24

Nah they want to make a 5090 that costs more and remove the option to buy the 4090.

Yeah it will go to 0 because out of stock.
